C'mon spring!
I'm installing dual Carter P4070 electric fuel pumps. I will also be replacing my oil pressure sender when I install my safety switch. For those who have BTDT...
What is best practice for installing the 1/8 NPT nipple, tee, sender and switch?
I am leaning toward a 1/8 NPT stainless steel hex nipple, but can only find one in 2 1/2 inches...I've read 3" is needed....is everyone in agreement that brass or bronze is two soft for the additional weight? Do I need to 45 the sender like in some Olds applications, and lastly, do I need a method of bleeding air out (my initial thought is, will the oil stay there? ( finger on the straw trick)) all comments are welcome.
